INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, has opened a new Professional Development Centre, a newly designed hub for training excellence, including content from North Carolina State University’s The Nonwovens Institute (NWI), for professionals in nonwovens/engineered fabrics to take training courses to advance their careers.

The Professional Development Centre offers training to both INDA members and non-members at every career level from a non-technical introductory nonwovens course to classes covering the most advanced technical areas of the industry, as well as sector- specific courses in the growing areas of wipes and filtration.

The course selection includes three-levels of Professional Development within nonwovens. Held at INDA’s headquarters in Cary, and The Nonwovens Institute, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, these short courses start with the nonwoven basics and progress to the Intermediate level, which includes live process demonstrations and lab classes. The Advanced series consists of 3.5-day courses on nonwoven product development and innovation, micro and nanofibre nonwovens technology and applications, fabric property development and characterisation, and spunbond and meltblown technology.

The next part of the course is INDA’s WIPES Academy. Co-located with the World of ipes(WOW) international conference, from June 12 to 15, 2017 in Nashville, TN, and at INDA’s headquarters on November 29 and 30, 2017 in Cary, NC, this two-day immersive training provides a strong foundation of fundamental wipes knowledge, covering the basics of wipes design, manufacturing and applications, market trends, and opportunities in new product areas.

Also part of the course is INDA’s Filter Media Training Course, ideal for professionals wanting to learn more about the development, testing, and application of nonwovens in filtration. The two-day class is offered at both INDA’s headquarters in Cary, NC and annually at the Filtration International Conference & Exposition, being held this year on October 10 and 11, 2017 in Chicago.

INDA is partnering with technical experts and professors at The Nonwovens Institute as well as with industry process technologists and development professionals to instruct the courses. (GK)
